"it's not cheating or an exploit, it's a clever use of game mechanics which Blizz tolerates and actually encourages"

I mean yeah, there’s a difference between that and re-encountering a legitimate 2004 bug though (not to mention seeking confirmation they were in the clear)

I mean I also would like to see streaming by and large Not Be A Thing in classic, but I think we need to acknowledge that in this case it would be less justified, more of a sacrifice for the greater good

Its an unintended bug that happened in vanilla. I remember it happening multiple times.

They got lucky cause of it.

It happens.

They didn’t do anything that caused it as it was out of their control. So they shouldn’t be punished.

Big difference between

  1. We are going to do this thing that we know will cause bosses to respawn so we can fatm loot for hours

  2. Seems the raid reset cause of some unintended bug.

One had intent and should be punished the other is out of the players hands.

This bug literally happened dozens of times in vanilla.

You didn’t freak out about it than

Stop freaking out about it now.

If they banned everyone that had this happen once or twice (by accident) half the server would be gone. You guys need to calm the f* down about streamers.

Classic would be better without streamers. That is undeniable fact as they bring their flock of degenerates with them wherever they go.

Who is the streamer?

None of the items were deleted.
Source: was in the raid

Blizz gave us the A-Okay and said we could progress the raid and loot items

You are aware that esfan and a few of those streamers are literally the ones who advocated for classic for the last 15 years.

Without them classic wouldn’t of even been on blizzard radar.

Grow up.

“Hey this is wierd blizzard, is it ok? is it a random bug? can we proceed? No idea what is happening and im gonna show this bug and report it”

“Blizzard i do it on purpouse and i want to exploit it 900000000000000000th times why you making the dude whom reported it the good guy here”

lmao these forums.

It would be more meaningful and important if an actual developer showed up give us information and not a cs rep.

Esfand reported the bug and made Blizzard aware of the situation. Stop crying and comparing them to people who knowingly hid the information so they could abuse it as long as possible for their own gain. There is a clear difference.

Just stop making non-streamers slaves.

OK, streamers are streamers, content promoters, not typical players, understandable.

But the entire “Classic Summer” you promised, was just some patch 8.2 or raid finder wing 3. Not classic at all, unless you were a streamer.

Yet, you didn’t send that as an email to streamers. You made it an official announcement. Everyone was expecting to get it, but only streamers got it.

You just turned the Blizzard services into “services for streamers”, and the remaining playerbase into “puppets of the streamers”.

At least let non-streamers access the game, game time, BfA expansion, and all store mounts, for free, since we aren’t your customers, but the streamers are.

I did not exploit anything. It was one of the “not-a-bug” things, a documented game’s feature, that I was using as intended. I guess I deserve a “warning” abut the use of this specific thing, but since it’s already fixed, there’s no need to even email me about that.

The change (not fixing) of this feature is enough of a penalty.

Uh, Devs develop and CS supports customers? I may have that backwards but I don’t think so.

Are you

It was a bug from 2004. Happened dozens of times. Blizzard has never punished anyone due to it.
